Website that tells you what size you are...

Just read about this website:

http://sizes.darkgreener.com/

You put in your measurements (bust/waist/hips in cm or inches) and it tells you what size you are at various different shops. Avoid that pesky phenomena whereby a size 14 in TopShop is a size 8 in M&S.

Once you put in your measurements it will also tell you which shop has a size that's closest to your shape.

I know this isn't strictly moneysaving but I thought it was interesting and you never know, it might save some people some return costs when buying clothes online.

Update: It displays funky graphs but I've just realised that they don't work in Internet Explorer 8 so try Firefox, Chrome, or IE9 onwards. My office has ancient IE *sigh*

Hmmmm....

I'm a size 22 top and 16 bottom. I don't think it works for blokes

Wow, that's incredible, my measurements vary in different stores from a 12 to 18!

Banana Republic don't do flattery, do they.

I'm depressed now, thanks for that! lol

Great site - I'd suggest using the cm sizer at the top - it gave me a far more accurate (and useful) reading than when I put inches in.

It does if you want to buy ladies clothes

This is great! Now...if we could just get stores to make their own sizes more uniform (I am a size 8,10 AND 12 in Topshop, a size 8, 10 AND 8-is-too-big in M&S and don't get me started with Next!!

I think only a very small minority of women have the same top size as bottom size, you have no excuse, its time to update your wardrobe! :rotfl:

Interesting site but not accurate for me. Overestimated my size in several of the shops I buy from regularly, so would have to assume those I haven't bought from would be the same

Shame the results are a bit hit and miss (and sorry blokes; it doesn't work for you!). I found it interesting and it seemed accurate for the shops I usually buy from.

I'm an hourglass shape and have awful trouble getting trousers that fit correctly. It told me what I thought about certain shops - that they're cut for an up-and-down figure as in some I'm a size 8 waist and a size 12 hips! But apparently my closest fit for bottoms will be Zara, and I've never shopped there so I might have to go and try some things on.

Interesting.
